It depends on whether the work is still copyrighted, whether you have permission, and whether your particular use is exempt from copyright infringement.

Copyright symbols have been completely optional as a requirement for copyright ownership for over 20 years, under US copyright law.

You have the burden of making sure that the work is not copyrighted before you use it without obtaining a license, if one is necessary for your use.
